Michael Jackson’s ‘A Place With No Name’ Video The First In History; Posthumous Project A Reminder Why He’s The ‘King Of Pop?’

Michael Jackson's "A Place With No Name" video makes history when it debuted on Twitter. The posthumous project is a fitting reminder why he's considered as the "King of Pop."

A report by Rolling Stone said that Michael Jackson's "A Place With No Name" music video keeps up with the desert theme that was featured in "A Horse With No Name," sung by the rock band America in 1972. Samuel Beyer is credited with the new scenes of the models in the video, while the rest of the footages are culled from the "In the Closet" VHS single.

Samuel Beyer is a highly respected director who worked with the greatest names in the industry. He helmed Maroon 5's "Payphone," Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," and Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around ... Comes Around.

"This new video weaves in rare clips of the King of Pop dancing and chilling on the Salton Sea set of the Herb Ritts-shot video for the 1991 single 'In the Closet,' the magazine said.

According to People, Michael Jackson's "A Place With No Name" was tweeted last Wednesday to the delight of his 1.66 million followers. The video also came with this caption: "It's time! The first ever premiere of 'A Place With No Name' right now on Twitter."

The Telegraph reported that Michael Jackson's "A Place With No Name" was recorded by the King of Pop in 1998. The track is included in the "Xscape" album, the posthumous creation of Michael Jackson, which is being released by Stargate.

The Rolling Stone hinted that more tracks from Michael Jackson would be released in the future, citing an earlier interview with producer Rodney Jenkins.

"I'm sure there are a few more great things out there and, hopefully, we'll all have a chance to hear them," he told the magazine.
